Cognitive Context Acquisition White Paper

QoSMOS has produced a white paper entitled "Cognitive Context Acquisition". The link is found here.

Abstract -

This white paper presents an overview of cognitive context acquisition mechanisms which are under consideration in the European Union (EU) FP7 Integrated Project (IP) called QoSMOS. Its main focus is to present two context-awareness approaches: spectrum sensing and access to spectrum databases. Spectrum sensing is considered one of the principal enabling technologies for future opportunistic network in last decade. However, current regulatory trends (for instance Ofcom in UK, and FCC in USA) are more in the favour of spectrum database approach in the TV white space context. This white paper highlights the sensing algorithms and the detailed BT1 whitespace estimator, considered in QoSMOS. The main findings are summarised in a conclusion section.
